Windows 7: Is it possible to edit an autocomplete entry?

I'm using Firefox browser.
I like the "autocomplete" which routinely fills in user name and password, but recently ran into a problem - on a rarely-used but important site (Doctor's surgery) I forgot my user name and password.
Retrieved user name from surgery (which hasn't changed), BUT they gave me a temporary password
Logged in - autocomplete filled it in after first character entered, as was a password BUT it isn't the "right" password - I now have to over-ride it every log-in.

So - how does one edit the stored password for this site, alternatively, delete the whole existing entry and let it offer to remember it from new?

In Firefox, I used Tools/Security/Saved Passwords, then deleted the site entry.

That solved the problem of pre-entering the wrong password

Just tried logging in again. PW manager suggested the "user" name after the first letter, but didn't offer a password (or offer to "remember" it when entered, so I guess I'm going to play around a little more to get it re-listed.

I'm a reasoably intelligent "user" but not a "techie" - don't really want to get into new and problematic territory Think I'll stick with what I've got, but do appreciate the advice which I know was given in good faith!.

no prob, the comments are mostly a year old and glitches have been sorted, as i said i have the paid version and have had no problems in the five years i have been using it, i know there are quite a few members on sevenforums use it also. you could try last passhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...nager/reviews/

Firefox AutocompleteI’m having a problem with Firefox’s autocomplete function in Google.
For Google I use Google.com//webhp?complete=0&hl=en.
This turns off Google’s automatic query & fill function, and then lets me use the autocomplete of searches I've done before.
But it stopped working yesterday for no...
